Let’s say there’s a power-cut. In the middle of the day. This day is particularly overcast and spooky, with little or no natural light. You know, like April. You are either home from work or you don’t have a job outside of that home. The point is, apparently, you don’t have any juice inside it, either. Here’s what you might do: 1.
